For all the American Aussies and their human companions, happy Independence Day! For everyone else, happy Tuesday!
Temps have been very high these past two weeks... and we have had a lot of thunderstorms too that have left the local parks a muddy mess...soooo, lots of pool time in between the storms! Sorry for the lack of photos but after a while pool shots start to look like all the other pool shots... at least Roxy & JJ LOVE the pool and it is a great way to beat the heat. Hope everyone is staying cool and safe.

I met these 2 Aussie Beauties on Australia Day down at the beach. These girls were incredibly beautiful.... my 18month old son helped me find them he loved their flags.
I put their names in my phone... but i lost the message i save them to. I Think their names are Angela and ellie.
I gave them my card so hopefully they see this. I would have talked to them more but the joys of motherhood called.
Hope you like the shot girls you look stunning!
Sam is a 18 year old border collie cross qld cattle dog. He was told around 2 years ago he had cancer in his belly and if they operated he would die, so it was best let him live his life to the full for the next 6 months of his life which he had left. He then moved house from nsw to qld and had a check up with a new vet when he arrived only to find that the cancer was in his testicles and could be easily removed. Once this had occured sam begain to recover. Then he had trouble with his right eye and the vet said it had to be removed, so he had the eye removed. He then had his ears swell up so he had to have cut open to relieve the swelling. After this he then had to go under to have teeth removed that were causing problems. He is a true aussie because no matter what life keeps throwing his way he keeps overcoming it. One eye no nuts missing teeth and stiil finds time to bury toys in the garden at the ripe old age of 18. God love ya samy!!! Made Explore #114 samy boy was put down he no longer is with us!

Hervey bay/ˈhɑrvi ˈbeɪ/ is a city in Queensland, Australia. The city is situated approximately 290 kilometres (180 mi) or 3½ hours highway drive north of the state capital, Brisbane. It is a natural bay between the Queensland mainland and nearby Fraser Island. The local economy relies on tourism which is based primarily around whale watching in Platypus Bay to the North, access to Fraser Island, accessible recreational fishing and boating and the natural north facing, calm beaches with wide undeveloped foreshore zones.
At the 2011 Australian Census the city recorded a population of 76,403.[1] Hervey Bay is an area of high population growth...
Climate
Hervey Bay has a mild climate with an average 30 °C (86 °F) in summer and 22 °C (72 °F) in winter. The coast is predominantly affected by the south east trade winds throughout the summer with occasional strong northerly winds and storm swells. These winds keep the temperatures down in summer and up in winter, preventing temperature extremes. As a result, Hervey Bay rarely experiences temperatures over 35 °C (95 °F) in summer or under 5 °C (41 °F) in winter.

Cyclones are a threat at times with Cyclone Hamish threatening in 2009 as a Category 5. The land mass of Fraser Island significantly affects the pattern of weather in Hervey Bay and protects the immediate marine environment from open ocean storm effects. Cyclone Oswald in 2013 caused significant damage in the area, mainly as a result of tornadoes spawned by the system. The average rainfall for the year is around 1,100 millimetres (43 in). December to March is the main rainy period, with a secondary peak in May and June. The months of April and from July to November are generally dry and sunny.
Whale watching
Hervey Bay is the whale watching capital of Australia, with humpback whales migrating along the coast between April and October every year. Researchers at the Oceania Project conducted a 14 year study which found the bay was an important social hub for humpback whales.[15] Whale number have increased from about 2,000 in 1992, to around 7,000 in 2005.[15] Hervey Bay is the resting place for Humpback whales, Mum's and Calves, they come to the Bay to rest and build up energy for their long travels back to Antarctica. The Adults come to play, socialise and there have been heat runs observed in the Bay. The Humpback Whales are known to be very relaxed in the company of the whale watching vessels.

Yesterday Lissy and I went to an Aussie meeting. All the Aussies were very beautiful :) Sadly, Lissy decided that running into the woods and searching deer or something to hunt was more interesting than running with the other Dogs, so I had to take her on leash..
